Saturday Blog Hop – Plaid Tidings

Welcome back to our Create with Connie and Mary Saturday Blog Hop!  Time is running out quickly to take advantage of the Sale-A-Bration products!  This week we are showing off our plaids!  Could use inks, designer paper, or create your own plaids!  I had these circles left over from another Adorable Owls card that I made using the Picture This Dies, so I thought I’d use them for this plaid challenge!

Stampin’ Details:

• The base is 5-1/2 x 8-1/2 Smoky Slate cardstock, scored at 4-1/4 and folded.
• A 4 x 5-1/4 layer of Calypso Coral is added on top.
• The 3-3/4 x 5 layer of Pale Papaya cardstock is embossed with the Cane Weave Embossing Folder.
• The leftover circles from cutting the Dandy Designs Designer Paper (SAB) with the Picture This Dies were added to the front of the card.
• A 3/4 x 3 piece of Calypso Coral cardstock was cut with a flag end, then added to the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
• The greeting from Adorable Owls was stamped with Memento Black Ink on 1/2 x 1-3/4 Basic White and added to the strip.
• The Adorable Owls image was stamped with Memento Black Ink and colored with the Smoky Slate, Pale Papaya, Pumpkin Pie and Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blends.  It was hand-cut and added to the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
